Metro Washington Council afl-cio

Last month, after a garment factory union organizer in Bangladesh was beaten while meeting with workers about their nascent union, the Solidarity Center Bangladesh Worker Rights Defense Fund was there to help him cover the medical care he needed, an expense he otherwise could not have afforded. Individuals and organizations have donated more than $15,500 to the Fund over the past year, following an increase in violence and harassment against workers who were seeking to form unions to protect their health, dignity and rights on the job. Thanks to everyone who supported Bangladeshi workers struggling for basic rights. Find out more at the Solidarity Center.
